The running man is back! That’s right, folks! It started with MC Hammer back in the 1980’s, then was briefly revisited in the new millennium, only to have England’s Utah Saints revive it yet again just for shits and giggles. Utah Saints recently made a huge comeback with their latest single “Something Good ’08”, a [...]
It has apparently now been fifty years since actor Tab Hunter (Damn Yankees, The Sea Chase) released his #1 single “Young Love” for a company called Dot Records. Around that time, Warner Bros. was peeved because all the hype surround this song and not Hunter’s recent film under the Warner flag. As a response, Warner [...]
After taking their first extensive break since last year’s release of No Deliverance, the Toadies are ready to get back on the road. Well, kind of – 11 of the band’s newly announced 28-date U.S. tour will take places in their home state of Texas. But that still leaves 17 non-Texas gigs, which will take [...]
Indie Rock: it’s who you know. Okay, maybe that’s a little much– but it might be the best way to express the bad taste left in the mouth after watching the meteoric rise to blogpop success that’s been afforded to Brisbane, Australia’s An Horse. A boy-girl duo (think a sex-changed White Stripes) hawking the latest in jangly indie [...]
As if you needed another reason to hit up two of the summer’s biggest tours, comes word that both NIN/JA, aka Nine Inch Nail & Jane’s Addiction co-headlining extravaganza, and Depeche Mode‘s upcoming North American endeavors will feature quite the opening acts.

In support of its recently released studio album, No Line On The Horizon, the Irish outfit have announced dates for the first portion of its planned two-year [...]
Let’s get this straight. The video you’re about to see is nothing more than a 60 second commercial for this year’s Coachella Music Festival – though the Coachella boarders seem to think the inclusion of The Chemical Brothers‘ music may be providing a hint as to who will be part of the next round of [...]
Just in case you wondered what happened to Interpol following its well, to be put nicely, sub par third studio album, Our Love to Admire, and subsequent festival-friendly summer tour, the New York based outfit recently posted an open letter to update fans on all the latest goings-on: Cherished Interpudlians, It’s been a long time. [...]
Some of you out there are probably thinking, “Whoa…wait a minute. There was a Clash album after Combat Rock?” Well, sadly, yes there was. Like finding a four-leaf clover in the dead of winter, the chances of finding a copy of The Clash’s 1985 musical fiasco Cut The Crap are incredibly rare, but worth a [...]
If you’ve ever been a tourist in Orlando, and I’m sure many of you have, then you’ve been misled. Make no mistake, Orlando is the candy-colored ashtray of Florida.
